Exploration Zone and Fukusa: Japanese Gift Covers from the Chris Hall Collection
Welcome to the workshop!
Fukusa are Japanese silk covers that were draped or folded over gifts for a variety of occasions. Each fukusa was carefully chosen to convey a message to the recipient. They are exquisitely decorated using various techniques, including embroidery, weaving, painting, and dyeing.
In this space you can learn about how fukusa are decorated through close observation and tactile experiences. At the end, try your hand at weaving and embroidering with the hands-on stations and activity cards.
